Lymm welcomes our latest rugby hero
Flying in from Chicago just days ago, Nicholas Walcott is about to embark upon a new phase in his sporting career here in Lymm. As a former American football player and current Rugby Union winger, Walcott has a massive passion for the sport and is here to play the highest standard that he can achieve.
Lymm Rugby Clubs latest addition
The 6ft tall mass of 220lbs looks every bit the rugby super star as he admires his new training ground at Lymm Rugby Club. Having flown over the pond by recommendation of international rugby stars Roger Wilson, Bob Cassey, Luke Stringer and Lymm Rugby Club’s Mike Swetman, Walcott felt he was at the stage in his rugby career where he wanted to be playing against a higher standard of players in order to self improve. With experience of playing as a winger, flanker, and both inside and outside centre, he’s Lymm Rugby Clubs latest addition with bags of talent and a thirst for more.
Sporting Biography
Originally an American Football player, Walcott played semi-professional in the States for 3 years. He played College Ball in his home State of Chicago before being introduced to the world of Rugby Union about 5 to 6 years ago, a sport in which he says he immediately fell in love with. He then joined Chicago Griffins RFC, a US Premier division club in the West Region States Chicago. Running 100m in just 11.1sec in his high school days, Walcott usually plays winger for the club but has experience in several positions. He is still currently part of Chicago Griffins RFC but plans to play rugby union here in the UK for the next three months and possibly more.
Walcott the Entrepreneur
It’s clear the guy is all about his sport as he describes himself as a massive Chicago Bulls, Chicago Bears and Chicago White Sox fan. He’s also a very hard worker as the co-founder of Marketing Promotional Company BIG6 Sports and Entertainment specialising exclusively in the world of sports. With a huge passion for writing and the media, Walcott has also worked as a free-lance sports reporter with Fox32 news.
So with a great combination of talents and flair in a number of fields, he has a whole world of opportunities at his fingertips. Walcott says he’s here to learn as much as possible in the next three months. Once that time has passed there is talk of him possibly heading over to Dublin to pursue his rugby potential over there, with a chance that he may return to Lymm at a later date.

Last Chance to Have Your Say
Over the past couple of months, Lymm Youth and Community Centre have been conducting a survey about our community and youth facilities. They will be publishing the full results in the next month, so if you haven’t yet completed the survey, this is your last chance to have your say.
There has been a fantastic response so far and the committee would like to thank everyone for their time and support. Almost everyone surveyed would like to see community facilities improved or maintained in the village and with over 85% of people surveyed agreeing that Lymm would benefit from a revitalised youth club, it is clear there is a demand for the centre. Over 80% of people think it would be a mistake if the site, along with the neighbouring car parks, was sold for redevelopment.
Great suggestions for improvements
There have been some great suggestions for improvements or new activities and facilities that could be offered at the centre, which the committee hope to act upon. It seems that many people are keen to get involved with their community or are interested in new activities at the centre, so we are calling upon you to make it happen. Lymm Youth & Community Association is always looking for people who would like to help out at the centre, in whatever capacity. For more information, please contact the secretary, Neville Davies on 01925 755757.
Voice your opinion in the Survey
If you would like to add your voice to the results, then you don’t have long left to complete the survey. Copies are available at Lymm Youth & Community Centre and a number of local businesses. Alternatively, complete the survey online at Lymm Youth Survey or print a copy of Lymm Youth Survey.

New Mediterranean Restaurant and Cafe coming soon
Currently under construction, Lymms latest addition to the wining and dining world will be Cafe Salar. Located in the heart of the village, this cafe/restaurant features a delicious menu of Mediterranean style food and beverages, sourcing a lot of its ingredients from Spain.
Pictured below is owner Mike Connett, alongside the restaurant General Manager, Daniel Mejia from Majorca. Both are very excited about the new project as Daniel says he hopes the restaurant will bring “Sunshine and colour to the village.”
The exotic addition to the village will also have a cocktail bar managed by Nathan Williams from New Zealand, who was also once the Head Bartender at Harvey Nicks in Manchester.
With work still on the go, the restaurant hopes to be fully finished and ready to open by the end of next week.
